What I've discovered is that in art, as in music, there's a lot of truth-and then there's a lie. The artist is essentially creating his work to make this lie a truth, but he slides it in amongst all the others. The tiny little lie is the moment I live for, my moment. It's the moment that the audience falls in love.

My apartment is my stage, and my bedroom is my stage - they're just not stages you're allowed to see.

When I was younger, I felt pressure to become someone else once I became successful.

I do yoga, I do Bikram and I run, and I eat really healthy.

I used to get made fun of for being either too provocative or too eccentric, so I started to tone it down. I didn't fit in, and I felt like a freak.

The most important thing about creativity is that you honor your creativity and you don't ever ignore it or go against what that creative image is telling you.

Don't you ever let a soul in the world tell you that you can't be exactly who you are.
